  Predictions for the forthcoming year   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Sample predicted futures, as of 2003, range from predicted ecological catastrophes, to a utopian future where the poorest human being lives in what would be regarded as wealth and comfort in modern terms, to the transformation of humanity into a posthuman lifeform, to the destruction of all life on Earth in a nanotechnological disaster.
These predictions are sometimes based upon current trends in culture (music, movies, fashion, politics); sometimes they are hopeful guesses as to what major events are expected to take place over the course of the next year.
When predicted events fail to take place, the authors of the predictions often state that the failure of the prediction may have been due to a misinterpretation of known "signs" and portents leading to the predicted events.

The generally established opinion of the scientific community is that astrology is superstition, with no actual predictive ability.
Political astrology has existed for thousands of years as well, while some astrologers use ancient methods which are supposed to be able to predict the weather and weather-related phenomena (storms, floods, etc.), which is collectively known as meteorological astrology.
Astrologers argue that astrology works by a mechanism that is (yet) unknown to science and that it is validated by their personal experience when applied in real life cases.

 BSA - Feature Article - Ten Predictions for 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Last year's savings inflows were the result of rising interest rates (which by the summer had reached a level well in excess of inflation), a perceived poor outlook for equities and, at last, a growing concern on the part of many households that they had borrowed sufficiently.
The forthcoming year is likely to see a slowdown in number of transactions, and very moderate house price inflation (of perhaps 0% to 3% by the end of the year).
The forthcoming year will see no change in the intensity of debate, especially as it is likely that by the end of the year more than half of all ATMs in the UK will be charging.

Amicus, the union for the U.K. Finance sector, is today predicting that the gloomy forecasts for job cuts in the City of London and the wider finance sector will see a dramatic increase in trade union activity with thousands of new members joining unions from this vital business sector.
The prediction comes on the back of record recruitment results within Amicus Finance Sector in 2002, where many well known companies including AMP, Royal and Sun Alliance and the Prudential announced job cutting or pension slashing programs for their staff Amicus recruited over 10,000 new members from the Finance Sector alone during 2002.
These dismal predictions for the forthcoming year will focus finance sector employees minds on safeguarding their future and seeking help and advice from Unions.

Although there are astrologers who try to put astrology on sound scientific grounds, for many more it is a technology and an art that merges calculations with intuitive perceptions.
The generally established opinion of the scientific community is that astrology is mere superstition, with no actual predictive ability.

The beginning of the astrological year is the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere (the vernal equinox - usually around March 21), and not when the Sun crosses an arbitrary dividing line drawn up in modern times to denote where the constellation of Aries begins.
As is often the case with pseudoscience, the practitioners of astrology respond to such disproof either by changing their claims, or by refusing to accept the scientific method as a valid test of their claims.

By using a variety of satirical techniques, such as incongruity, sarcasm and exaggeration, Swift captured the deception of almanac-makers who pretended to make accurate predictions of the forthcoming year in their annual publications.
Furthermore, Swift literally stabbed at the heart of astrology by predicting the death of Partridge and then consolidated his “death” in the subsequent piece, “Accomplishment,” in a deliberate attempt to play a joke on him (Mayhew 276-278).

 Refutation of predictions of petroleum exhaustion.
However, many of the conclusions drawn from such data, particularly such as purport to predict the future of available petroleum reserves and of the petroleum industry itself, will be weighed and rejected from the perspective of modern petroleum science.
The first part of the explanation is simply forthcoming by pointing out the single, simple, but utterly wrong assumption upon which have been based all the “disaster” predictions connected with fantasized shortages of petroleum.
All the predictions about expected shortages of petroleum hang by a single, weak thread on a remnant, eighteenth-century notion which has been thoroughly discredited in this century: the hypothesis that petroleum might somehow originate from biological detritus in sediments near the surface of the Earth.

To the extent that such predictions continue to be confirmed by new observations and measurements, the hypothesis is refined and eventually merits the title of "theory." The worst thing that can happen to a valid theory is that it eventually fails to reproduce some carefully established experimental fact, and must therefore be further refined.
A theory that cannot, in principle, be tested until one of its predictions is found to be false is, in fact, not even considered a part of science.

We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters above that specified by a long-term climatology.
For example, if there were a year with five more tropical storms than average and we had predicted two more storms than average, we would give ourselves a skill score of 2 over 5 or 40 percent.

 TCS Daily - Where I'd Bet Against Kurzweil
Given that about 6 years have elapsed since the book's publication, I figure that we should be far enough along to recognize which of his predictions for the year 2009 (chapter 9) are likely to come true, and which are likely to go awry.
Then, if you make a prediction for the year 2009, we should be half way there by 2007 and one-fourth of the way there in 2005.
For example, Kurzweil's prediction that in 2009 "Military conflicts between nations are rare, and most conflicts are between nations and smaller bands of terrorists" might seem to be a remarkably accurate prediction.
